Deleting the Patch File

If you try to open a SOA project in JDeveloper using a role other than SOA Patch Developer, and if the composite has a previously existing patch file, you get a warning stating that you should delete the patch.xml file before you can edit the project.

If you have already applied the patch, you can safely choose the option to delete the patch.xml file.

Patch File Found dialog

You can now continue to edit the SOA project.
